谈祷告

祷告是人向神说话,包括忏悔、赞美、恳求、祝谢、代求等几个方面。这同时也是在神面前蒙恩的路,是神向你施恩的道。 洞察人心肺腑的上帝绝对知道他的儿女们确实的需要。但是为什么要等到“呼求我、祷告我”(耶29:12)之后,才应允、答复我们呢?

商代人神关系论略

中国国家的形成与祭祀的集中密切相关--或者说,通过对祭祀对象的掌握而掌握对不同民族的权力,这是中国国家形成的重要途径.在这个过程中,人与神的关系既体现为人与祭祀对象的关系,也体现为人与神的代言人-巫师集团的关系,它使中国的王权与神权一直存在着某种紧张关系,这在中国商代有着鲜明的表现.     

祷告的人生(四)北大核心

智慧的奥秘 “并将智慧的奥秘指示你。”(伯11:6) 人们惊呼:现在的小孩真聪明。的确,现在的孩子比以前的人是要聪明了许多。有朋友曾夸我的女儿聪明,我对他说,聪明已经成了现代孩子的共性,不再由某几个孩子所专有。现代人的智力已普遍提高,但这是不是说现今的人就一定比古人有智慧了呢?我看未必。聪明不等于智慧,它属于智力的范畴。一个人的智商无论有多高。     

服刑人员重塑法治价值观过程的质性探索

采用扎根理论方法,通过深度访谈、查询检索,收集服刑人员谈话派生资料(n=13),通过三级编码分析、构建理论, 探索服刑人员从犯罪到守法的重塑法治价值观过程。结果显示,服刑人员心理变化分四阶段：1）接受期,认清身份,端正态度;2）积累期,学法习德,修正扭曲;3）转变期,反思总结,守法自新;4）拓展期,延伸法治,规划未来。通过管教民警引导,服刑人员联系亲情逐渐修正扭曲价值观,实现守法自新的转变。

合而为一——主分离前祷告的重心

诚信结构初探

以质性研究的范式, 对中国人的诚信结构进行本土化的探索。遵循质性研究的“目的性抽样”原则, 采取强度抽样的具体策略进行取样, 选择了15名访谈对象。运用扎根理论的一般流程, 以深度访谈的方法收集资料并转换成电子文本。使用Nvivo 8.0质性分析软件对电子文本进行编码, 寻找本土的概念。初步产生292个开放式编码和关联式编码7个：“诚实、信用、信任、责任心、层次性、关联性、相互性”; 形成1个核心式编码：“诚信及其结构”。最后构建了两个理论：1)诚信由诚实、信用、信任和责任心四因素构成; 2)诚信四因素关系特点及其结构。采用原始资料检验法、专家评价法等效度评估和归类一致性指数信度评估对研究结果进行检验, 一致性程度较好, 说明有较好的效度和信度。     

Prayer as Therapeutic Process Toward Aliveness Within a Spiritual Direction Relationship

This article underscores the potential benefit of a specific form of Christian prayer that creates space within a spiritual direction relationship for the creation of inner images that reveal a person’s unconscious relational longings and co-created representations of God. In this specific type of prayer that can be facilitated by mental health professionals and pastoral counselors, imagery of God’s presence is created in the space between a Christian spiritual director and a Christian directee while they are open to inner experiences that reveal God’s presence interacting with infantile processes toward aliveness. Aliveness is understood using Winnicottian notions in dialog with theories proposed by Allan N. Schore, affective neuropsychologist and Clinical Faculty at UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine, Ann Belford Ulanov, Jungian Analyst and Professor of Psychiatry and Religion at Union Theological Seminary and W.R.D., British psychoanalyst in the Objects Relations School. Ideas of transitional space, good enough mother, holding environment, aggression, creativity, and play are set alongside theories of affect regulation, the developing brain, co-created objective God images, the relational nature of God and being received as good while illuminating three prayer experiences during one 30-year-old Asian American woman’s 16-month therapeutic process toward aliveness.

‘To Whom Say You Your Pater Noster?’: Prayer on the Eve of the Scottish Reformation

In 1551, a resident English Dominican, Richard Marshall, sparked a fierce controversy in St Andrews, Scotland, by arguing in a sermon that the Lord’s Prayer, the ‘Our Father’, should be prayed to God only and not to the saints. According to John Foxe, the dispute led to much cursing, a regional synod, and one Franciscan fleeing the city in disgrace. The St Andrews quarrel was one of many controversies about prayer in sixteenth-century Europe. Why was prayer such a contentious topic? Scottish prayer controversies revealed a fundamental struggle between traditional and reformist views over the value of ritual in relating to God. Protestants like George Wishart, Catholic reformers like Marshall and Archbishop John Hamilton, and more radical ‘devotional humanists’ like the poet, Sir David Lindsay, proclaimed new understandings of prayer that undermined the structures of traditional devotion by pitting the personal and vernacular aspect of prayer against priestly Latin ritual.     

Chinese Christians in America: Attachment to God,Stress, and Well‐Being

This study examined whether attachment to God moderated the relation between perceived stress and well‐being (i.e., life satisfaction and positive affect) among 183 Chinese Christian international students and immigrants. Results showed significant main effects of (a) perceived stress on life satisfaction and (b) secure attachment to God and avoidant attachment to God on life satisfaction and positive affect. There was a significant interaction of perceived stress and avoidant attachment to God on life satisfaction. Specifically, high avoidant attachment to God exacerbated the association between perceived stress and life satisfaction, whereas low avoidant attachment to God buffered the association between perceived stress and life satisfaction.
